Here, you meet people united by shared values. That very feeling of meeting 'your people'.
Ukrainian heritage that will impress you with its diversity. You will be able to take home not only things, but also a sense of your own identity.
Living contact and experience that go beyond museum exhibits. We do not live in the past - we rethink it.
We meet in Poltava and head to the outskirts of Opishnia to live among nature. We check into cozy modular houses and exhale. A slow introduction, aesthetic gatherings, and warm conversations in a circle of like-minded people.
We discover Ukraine's pottery capital through craft, gastronomy, museums, and people. We do not simply observe - we join the traditions: taste dishes from Eneida, dance, play, and sing together with the ethno band Yary.
We say goodbye to Opishnia by visiting one more beautiful museum. We reflect, hold on to memories, and set off for Poltava.

We always plan every journey in detail, but unexpected things can still happen. If an activity becomes impossible, we will find an equivalent alternative.

Yes, if you are open to meeting new people. The vast majority of our travelers came alone. And everyone feels a little scared - that is okay. You will be surprised how amazing it is to dive into this experience as an adult. From our own observations, we can assure you: it is in a 'solo' journey that people open up best and learn more about themselves. And who knows, maybe you will return with a new friend.
This is a very comfortable journey with minimal distances between neighboring villages, which we mostly cover by group transfer. The only 'activity' waiting for you is a slow wander through an interesting museum and focusing on a pottery workshop. But if you want to add a bit of movement, the area around our hotel is perfect for walks in nature.
We stay in modern modular houses at Obriy Village, among ravines and picturesque Poltava landscapes, with all amenities. The room is designed for 2 people and has a double bed. To make you feel more comfortable, separate blankets are provided. This usually sounds intimidating, but believe us, it is not as scary as it may seem at first glance.
Yes, each house has Wi-Fi and generators in case of power outages. Mobile service on the property depends on your operator, but this is not a place where it is completely absent.
There are no special requirements, but we always recommend a few basics: choose comfortable shoes, take a power bank and a raincoat just in case. If you wish, you can bring clothing in Ukrainian style to feel festive at dinner with musicians or to take photos. There is a sauna on the hotel grounds, so if you want to use it, bring a swimsuit.
No lists or checkboxes — only meaningful experience that stays with you.
